yo_scottie_oh,

After I installed my new graphics card, I started having audio issues in games, crackling, stuttering, etc. Had been using X without issue prior to the upgrade. Switching to Wayland fixed it. Never figured out why. Was (still am) on Nobara 38 I believe.

yo_scottie_oh,

I could watch this all day.

Why does this happen to some of my games? (slrpnk.net)

title really… got a few games where this oldschool TV error shows instead of the actual main screen, the same happens with Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen. It’s a super weird thing, as before this appears the actual loading screen is present, but this error-image just decides to slowly fade in…?

yo_scottie_oh,

Take it out and blow on it.

yo_scottie_oh,

Floof mode engaged.

yo_scottie_oh,

Since you chose Linux Mint—good choice btw—something to keep in mind is that Mint is based on Ubuntu. While you’re learning and searching the interwebs for how to do x, y, and z, if you don’t find an article or guide specifically about Mint, try searching the same phrase replacing “mint” with “ubuntu.” There’s far more content out there about Ubuntu than Mint, but since Mint is based on Ubuntu, 9 times out of 10 the same solution on an Ubuntu forum works in Mint.

Good luck!

Honest question: Why?

IMHO stack exchange is basically reddit/lemmy with hand cuffs because no threaded discussions and every other question is closed as off topic. I don’t understand what another stack exchange would buy anybody.

I guess one thing stack exchange does well is “related questions” and tagging, but… I dunno. (shrugs)

yo_scottie_oh,

Would you mind expanding on this? When you say you were watching the locator, did you have like one of those Apple air tags in your bag or something else?

yo_scottie_oh,

I can’t speak to the specifics in your original question, but I reckon you’ll need to chat with several potential CFPs with a set of questions prepared and a somewhat rough idea of what answers you’re looking for. Hopefully when the right one crosses your path, you’ll know. Not because you already knew the answers to your questions, but more like you’ll know what not the right fit looks like. Does that make sense?

Separate from my initial generic response:

Retirement savings beyond the standard 401k and IRA options

I believe the typical advice is to max out your HSA contributions and save your health care receipts but don’t reimburse yourself yet because there is no deadline for reimbursements. Instead, just treat your HSA like a double tax advantaged retirement investment account.

Beyond that, you’re looking at a regular taxable brokerage account. Look into which asset types are most tax efficient—those are the ones you’ll wanna allocate in your regular taxable brokerage account. Careful, it’s a rabbit hole and you will hit against the law of diminishing marginal returns, but it might be worth it to broad strokes put international funds in your taxable brokerage while your bonds are live in your tax advantaged accounts. There’s more info on this if you search the boglehead wiki.

yo_scottie_oh,

Kudos to dansup for at least giving us proofs of concept to build on top of. Despite my own reservations about registering for pixelfed until the discover pages federate with different instances and hash tags work again on the flagship instance, I look forward to a post-instagram world.

yo_scottie_oh, (edited )

To see what I mean, go to any instance, visit the explore page, and click a hash tag. Then go to a different instance and enter that same tag on the second instance. In every example I’ve tried, the second instance either has a completely different set of photos for the same tag or no photos at all. For example, on gram.social the tag shows 171 posts. Now if I try the same tag on pixey.org, 0 posts.

yo_scottie_oh,

I think what I’m looking for on Pixelfed is a toggle similar to what Lemmy has, where the user can choose between Local or All. Local would show photos from just that instance, whereas All would include photos from all instances (that aren’t blocked ofc).

yo_scottie_oh,

I read the article so you don’t have to.

Excerpt:

A group of 12 Republican US senators sent a letter to International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, threatening repercussions if the court issues arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials, according a Monday report from news organization Zeteo.

The senators allege that the ICC seeks to punish “legitimate actions of self-defense,” citing Khan’s report of the “calculated cruelty” he witnessed following the October 7 attack and making clear that they find “no moral equivalence between Hamas’s terrorism and Israel’s justified response.” They claimed that the arrest warrants “would align the ICC with the largest state sponsor of terrorism.”

The signatories declared they would take any warrant issued as “not only a threat to Israel’s sovereignty but to the sovereignty of the United States.” They threaten, “Target Israel and we will target you” and that any further action will “end all American support for the ICC” and “bar [Khan] and [his] families from the United States.” It ended: “You have been warned.”

The letter, dated April 24, 2024, was signed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky as well as Senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas; Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee; Katie Boyd Britt of Alabama; Ted Budd of North California; Kevin Cramer of North Dakota; Ted Cruz of Texas; Bill Hagerty of Tennessee; Pete Ricketts of Nebraska; Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida; and Tim Scott of South Carolina.

OSM knows where my solar panels are

I have a solar array on my roof. If I find my house in OSM, there’s a lightning bolt icon indicating there’s a solar array present. Not only that, but the exact layout of the panels in my roof is shown. I never submitted this info to anyone, Google Maps Satellite view doesn’t show them. I’m really curious where OSM got...

yo_scottie_oh, (edited )

You don’t need to guess, you can check the history for any object in OSM.

Editing to clarify there are two places where source info might be stored. One is as a source tag on the object itself. The other is as a source on the change set in which your solar array was added.

Nice

After big finish to season, Alex Ovechkin thinks it’s possible he can break Wayne Gretzky’s NHL goals record if he stays healthy (russianmachineneverbreaks.com)

“I’m always saying the same thing: If I make it, it’s good, but it’s still 42 goals,” Ovechkin said. “It’s kind of a long way. But it’s possible if you’re going to be healthy, yeah.”...

Why can't I see a specific post in !caps@lemmy.world from lemmy.ml when the same post is visible on other instances? [SOLVED]

EDIT: After discussing this on Matrix, I believe the answer is in the mod logs. The author of the post in question was issued a temporary ban in another community on lemmy.ml, which I suspect is affecting the display of this user’s content across all of lemmy.ml even though the post in question is in a different community from...

yo_scottie_oh,

I hadn’t thought of that, but after a quick investigation I don’t think it has to do with language settings for a couple reasons:

  • The post in question is set to English, which I have selected in my Lemmy account settings (as well as Undefined).
  • I see other “English” posts in the same community and other communities.
  • I also see comments from this user in other posts in the same community; the comments are set to “English.”

Any other ideas? Could this be a technical glitch of some kind?

Ventoy for life

yo_scottie_oh,

Yes and no. Technically yes because the issue seems only to affect pixelfed.social; however, that happens to be the largest instance iirc. And hash tags are not federated, so one of the main features for discovery that is accessed from the landing page is unusable or broken (has been for months).

Meanwhile, people are out there talking and reading about this cool federated alternative to instagram called pixelfed, perhaps spending a few minutes browsing the site for the largest instance which also happens to have the word pixelfed in the URL, but as soon as they try interacting with it, they bounce off because they clicked on a link hoping to get more nature photos, but got an error instead. 🤷‍♂️
